    Just for Today - Thursday
    1. Stick to food plan! SERIOUSLY! STICK TO PLAN! No "sneaking a few carbs here and there". :)
    2. Hydrate with WATER! :)
    3. Task list today for work is to get Nikki's handout for WWD done, create exercise for Nursing Home visits for Rusk, Review Health Coach Lesson Plans and exercises. :/ Too many meetings today to get this stuff done. Moving to tomorrow's J4T list.
    4. Review January's expenditures so far and see where I can cut back and save for vacation, as well as set budget for February. Pay 2nd half of month's bills ;) Started this. Finishing up tomorrow.
    5. Gym tonight!!! 30 minutes of activity, then tan and spend 20 minutes in massage chair :) 20 min of treadmill because my ankle and knee got sore....5 minutes in massage chair. But I went and that was a big step for me!
    6. Read for pleasure. :) Doing this in the next 15 minutes when I finish logging in MFP.
    7. Do not bring work home with you. Go home and really 'be present'. Work will still be here tomorrow. :) Did it!
    8. Prep for tomorrow :) Lunch is ready, coffee is set and ready to brew at 5:00 a.m., clothes are set out.
    9. Bed one hour early. :) Going that way as soon as I'm done logging in MFP. Planning to read in bed where it is quiet.

    J4T - Friday
    1. Stick to Medi Weightloss food plan and journal every bite
    2. Hydrate!
    3. Get up every hour and move
    4. Add 100 more steps than yesterday on Fit Bit
    5. Task list today for work is to get Nikki's handout for WWD done, create exercise for Nursing Home visits for Rusk, Review Health Coach Lesson Plans and exercises.

    What a week. Pretty much set no goals. Work has me so stressed out, could barely sleep or eat. Not even really sure why I care that much. Might be time to move on. Finally got my appetite back, and boy, did I. Weigh in today. Wondering how much damage I've done.

    Just for today:
    Make it through the work day without incident lol
    Regroup and balance

    Happy Friday! Wishing you all the best working on your goals!!

    I have noticed that many of us are really stressed at work. There must be something in the air... I know when I am stressed, I want to eat more, which is all the more reason I love this thread to keep myself accountable.

    Happy Friday everyone and I hope you have a nice restful rejuvenating weekend!

    I have really been beating myself up this week, instead of celebrating the positives. Did surprisingly well on the weigh in. I'm down 8.9 since the first! Woo-hoo. Don't think I've ever done that! Today, I am mom to a 29 year old daughter. She has a beautiful 23 month old daughter. I really want to tweek a few more things going into next week.
    Just for today:
    Love on MYSELF and my family
    Oh and drink water lol

    I enjoy reading all your stories! Good and bad. I hope you all can revel in even the smallest of your successes. It's cake baking time!! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!!!!
